Mark of the Ninja, a 2D stealth platformer and critical darling on XBLA, appeared on Steam today . I only wish the date hadn't been previously announced, so I could call it "Marketing of the Ninja." Oh well -- it's selling for $14.99/£11.99, and while our review is forthcoming, the Xbox 360 version has already been bombarded by love shurikens from the press. They sting, but in a good way.

Edge called it "slick and striking," Destructoid called it "the benchmark by which all stealth games are now measured," and Wired praised it for "brilliant level and puzzle design." So, people really like it.

Have a look at last month's launch trailer below:

Tyler grew up in Silicon Valley during the '80s and '90s, playing games like Zork and Arkanoid on early PCs. He was later captivated by Myst, SimCity, Civilization, Command & Conquer, all the shooters they call "boomer shooters" now, and PS1 classic Bushido Blade (that's right: he had Bleem!). Tyler joined PC Gamer in 2011, and today he's focused on the site's news coverage. His hobbies include amateur boxing and adding to his 1,200-plus hours in Rocket League.
